I completely agree. I’ve been a lot more specific with what I want even if that means more research before reading anything. But so far, it’s been working since my last read was practically a perfect book in my eyes. Like 6 out of 5 stars. It also made my favorite books list (which only has four or so books on there to give you an idea).

@Amber-Jasmin_LeFay 6 ай бұрын

@@thewannabegamer9 oh really, that's so great! Yes I'm exactly the same regarding the research😄 do you mind if I ask what your last read was? I am also the same way with my favourites list, which only consists of two books, so I'm very curious 😁

@@Amber-Jasmin_LeFay Well I wish you luck in finding some amazing books this year! I hope we both have an incredible year with incredible books! I just read Yumi and the Nightmare Painter by Brandon Sanderson. I didn’t put it in my previous comment because I know that everyone’s requirements for a good book are different. But gosh it was so good! I really recommend you go in with as little knowledge as possible… so I won’t say much. 😂 It had some incredible themes and some really fun characters and worlds. And some sweet romance to make your heart flutter. I guess the biggest thing to know is that it’s a standalone in Sanderson’s overall reading universe so there some references that I didn’t understand. But as they don’t pertain to this story, it easy to put that info to the side. But man, because of everything that book has to offer, I can’t see myself ever disliking it or not wanting to read it in the future. It just kind of spoke to my soul. And I know it won’t be the same for everyone but hopefully it can become just a little bit more popular (I need more fanart 😂)

I'm looking forward for more "Forgot The Plot" videos this year. Those were SO much fun AND helpful. There are books that I have absolutely no intention to read, either I grew out of them or the authors are kinda problematic. But they're so popular that I just "want to be in on the joke", epecially when a friend of mine is a fan. Also, because I don't have to bare with the long descriptions and unhinged smut, it makes the story much more pleasant 😅 I often listen to those videos before going to sleep as I find them both fun and comforting

I’m so excited to hear what you thought of Ace of Shades!! That trilogy, while I didn’t love it, is one of the most fascinating books in terms of how much I thought about it long after I finished it. Mainly, I thought it suffered from the author having this expanded fantasy world that just felt… overwhelming? So overwhelming and big and complicated that it just didn’t feel real to me. I’ve never considered making videos before but the Ace of Shades book series might just force me to do it because I’ve never had a book that I didn’t love but wanted to love so badly before!

I agree with everything you said about Faebound in the video and will add that I thought the characters read much younger than they were suppose to be. In the book, they're late 20's to mid 30's, but to me they sounded early 20's. I didn't really buy into anyone's feelings or motivations for anything either.

She’s an incredible author and this story is filled with so much it was insane to actually be able to pick her brain after. it is a rather dark read with some definite trigger warnings, but it really is such a daunting and beautiful story and i would really like to see your take on it, or even to see if it’s your type of vibe. it’s not a super popular novel, but i would just love to know what you think. anyways, an incredible video once again!!! i look forward to every upload!

Ok my small recommendation for this month, Emily Wilde’s Map of the Otherlands, I read the first( Emily Wilde’s encyclopedia of Faeries) as per Cari’s recommendation and LOVED it, this second book was a great fun as well, I didn’t loved it as much as the first, but is definitely a good read, it’s pretty much a modern faerie tale, not as much as a romance fantasy as it was described. Please let me know if you read it and if you liked it.

As you frolic around listening to her, you hear "the witch would not". Oh boy, the sass

I read one dull book, and part of another one in January. I finished Stephen King's 'Firestarter', and I started Stephen King/ Richard Bachman's 'Rage', and I'll finish it soon. Rage being a banned book makes me reading it all the cooler.
